Setting up IPTV without impact to LAN and Wireless traffic
From DD-WRT Wiki

[edit] Introduction
This section explains how to use the DD-WRT GUI to configure DD-WRT supporting multicast IPTV traffic while at the same time anable some LAN ports and Wireless Clients working in parallel.
This works on my WRT54GL V1.1 connecting to T-Home, without using a separate Router for the multicast traffic.
[edit] Assumption
In the sample configuration, the TV media receiver is connected to LAN Port 4, and the router Ip is 192.168.1.1. Other configurations work accordingly.
[edit] Prerequisites
- Ensure that you are at least on DD-WRT 24v1 Firmware, otherwise download the most recent release.
- Connect the TV media receiver to Port 4. Connect other LAN connections to Ports 1,2,3
[edit] Allow for multicast traffic
- Disable (uncheck) "Filter Multicast" on Security-->Firewall
[edit] Disable multicast traffic to reach the Wireless adapter
- In Wireless-->Basic setting, set "Network Configuration" to "Unbridged", and "Multicast forwarding" to "disabled".
- Provide 192.168.3.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 as the IP address for Wireless connections
[edit] Setup an additional VLAN
- In Setup-->VLANs, check the "tagged" checkboxes for Ports 1,2,3. Then, check the three accoring checkboxes in the VLAN 7 row, uncheck them in the VLAN 0 row, and finally uncheck the "tagged" checkboxes.
- Apply the settings and reboot the router
[edit] Disable multicast traffic to reach the LAN Ports 1,2,3
- In Setup-->Networking, check "Unbridged" for "Network Configuration vlan7", "Multicast forward" to "disable".
- Below this entry, provide IP number 192.168.2.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 as the IP address
[edit] Enable DHCP for the additional local Networks and final steps
- In Setup-->Networking, add two DHCP Servers in the bottom area, one for vlan7, one for eth1 (keep the standard settign for the other fields)
- Apply all changes, and reboot the router
Finally, enjoy TV, LAN, and Wireless simultaneously
